What's missing
Where the app can't follow a rule to the letter yet, its notes say so, and say how to allow for it when you enter your hours. From this page's agreements:
- Syracuse: Onondaga County building (type your deductions). The schedule prints the percentages, so the apprentice dollars are the journeyman rate times the percentage, rounded to the cent. No foreman or general foreman rate is printed: use Enter my own rate. A day logged as another role is paid at that role's rate.
- Syracuse: Onondaga County building (type your deductions). The schedule prints only the current year, so the app uses the July 1 2026 rate for earlier weeks too (Davis-Bacon's July 1 2025 figure here is $32.99: for a 2025 week use Enter my own rate). The package goes up $4.07 an hour on July 1 2027 and $4.06 on July 1 2028, to be allocated later: after that, type your new rate under Enter my own rate.
- Syracuse: Onondaga County building (type your deductions). No 4×10 is printed, so the app has none, and it lets a make-up day run at straight time up to 40 hours even in a week with a holiday.
